What a terrible boyfriend I am, keeping secrets from Marlene! She gets to see all the things I design first, normally before they’re even finished and when they’re still being developed. With her away from Berlin for a month, I had the opportunity to work on a few things and keep them a surprise. Like this one…

The Marlene clutch in neon yellow!

I love colours that stand out and this one really does – whatever you match it with. For something so eye-catching – eye-catching? more like in-your-face! -, I think neon yellow works with a surprising number of other colours. I can imagine this together with white jeans and a grey tee. Or combined with a little black dress. Even with another bright colour like cobalt blue. This is how Marlene styled the clutch for it’s premiere: with an olive-green parka, a white shirt and washed-out jeans. And how would you wear it?

I’ve made the clutch in so many colours now that I’ve lost count. It just works in a lot of different shades. If you’d like to buy this clutch in neon yellow – or any other colour – send your order to mail at jamescastle dot de

I'm Marlene and this is my blog, where I share stories about style, beauty, design and all things that spruce up the everyday. I like men's shirts, good tailoring and a kick-ass red lipstick. My grandmother taught me that one can never own too many shoes. And who would I be to question my grandmother.
